If Bush Invades Russia . . .

Unlike so many other commentators, I have absolutely no basis for an opinion about our current President's intelligence. Oh, I have an opinion, but I recognize that it's unlikely to be totally correct. No one could actually be that dumb.

Aw, that's not fair. Bush isn't all that dumb, at least not compared to _________. There, I said it and I'm not taking it back.

Could Bush get us into a land war in Europe with the Ruskies? Sure, but he's only got a couple of months to do it, if he's going to. You know he's asking himself, "Is America better off at war with Russia compared to having Barack Obama become President?"

How would you stage manage our entrance into a war with Russia? I think we've grown to be more sensitive and intelligent as a nation, so it's going to take more than a Gulf of Tonkin incident. Too bad we've got the "good guy" complex, where we tell the bad guy, "No, you draw first..." (See my remarks on innocence; innocence is not a successful Evolutionary strategy.)

You have to admit that decapitating the Russian Bear, so that all those regions dreaming of autonomy could have it, would be fascinating! Not to mention that it would leave the US without a 'natural enemy.' (Islam doesn't hate America, it hate's modern Americans. Russian dictator-types hate America because we resist world political domination, as opposed to world economic domination, which pays better and offers benefits.)

Many analysts, who seemingly know what they're talking about, say that Russia has never been stronger than it is today. The Georgian invasion is Mr. Boris K.G.B. Putin's way of agreeing with those analysts. With winter coming, Russia's power increases because of all the natural gas and oil they control.

If Bush becomes convinced that Putin is the new Hitler, and that Georgia was like Hitler's Czech takeover, and that the Ukraine will be like Austria, leaving Poland to be Poland again (it's a geographic thing, the Poles aren't to blame), Bush may decide (be told) that Obama is the new Neville Chamberlain, so that nipping Russia's world domination desires in the bud NOW will, over all, same more lives, then we could be at war before the Republican Convention.

But hey, I'm the guy who said that August of 2008 was going to see gloom, doom, financial catastrophe, a new Great Depression, Diet Coke at $9 a can and abstinence as the new morality, but so far all that's happened is that gas is now under $3.89 a gallon. Let's hear it for me being wrong again!

But to answer my own question: If Bush invades Russia, Nancy Grace will still be All Caylee, All the Time.

The way I'm reading the news reports Georgia started this pissing contest with Russia by invading that pro-Russia territory. Of course, Russia was going to come to its defense.
